Drelmanes: I'm having problems (re)installing the tweaks (see attached image). What the $%*&¨#! -`_´- Sorry, that is really irritating...

Your frustration is understandable. Unfortunately it sounds like you may have to redo the whole thing. However, (and I'm not truly familiar with this situation) it SHOULD be playable, you just might not see the full effects of certain tweaks, so if that's not a big problem then try to start a new game and see what happens!

Well basically BG2 features a slightly newer set of D&D rules (don't ask me the exact details, I know very little about D&D), and includes new character kits like the Kensai and Wild Mage. Basically these things weren't intended for BG1, so they could make the game slightly more difficult/easier. Nothing to really worry about though, the BG2 engine is a massive improvement to the original (although a very few may prefer the original, hence Dori's warning), so just play as normal.

You wanna try something badass, try the assassinations mod. Adds a dark and evil sidequest and storyline to bg2. Makes the game more playable for the evil characters and has a lot of different branches the storyline can go. I think theres a romance too, although prally a sadistic one.

Mori: This is gonna sound silly...but after installing BGT and all the other mods, what do I run to start the whole BGT? Running my existing shortcuts for BG1 and 2 just bring up the standalone games.

Your existing shortcut for BG2 should do it. It's not immediately obvious though. Fire it up, choose Baldur's Gate, then Single Player. On the upper left of the next menu will be 'New Game', which is a new BG1 game. On the lower right (under Load Game) will be 'New BG2 Game' (which is a new BG2:SoA game).

While trying to extract BG2 fixpack (from Gibberlings3), into my BG2 directory, I keep getting a fatal error claiming it is unable to find dialog.tlk, and that I should extract into an infinity engine game directory. This is my BG2 directory that I am running and extracting in, so any ideas why this may be happening? Thanks for any help!

Just wanted to say thanks for putting up a tutorial for this type of mod. I played BG1 back in the day but never got around to BG2 and I love the idea of linking them together into one giant game.

Unfortunately I found this thread after already starting BG1 and now I'm just about to finish the game. Even though I'm dying to try the mod I really don't want to start a new game. Has anyone tried the mod on an already existing saved game?
